Air America also-ran and RFK Jr. consigliere Mike Papantonio is featured in a new documentary called "Jesus Camp". It concerns a summer camp for fundamentalist Pentecostals. As you might expect, it's a balanced view of religious folks, examining their trials and tribulations with an open mind and giving the viewer a deeper understanding of evangelicals.
Just kidding! It sounds like a hatchet job, with "Pap" being featured as the-religious-guy-who's-liberal-and-not-a-fundamentalist:
Papantonio, who co-hosts "Ring of Fire" with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., fires off one of his "Pap Attacks" in the documentary questioning the efficacy of the movement's position on the environment, creationism and other fundamental tenants.
It's a Florida paper, don't worry about it.
"There was 200 people waiting in line to get in," explains Papantonio after the initial "Jesus Camp" screening. "It's been sold out every night."
I'm sure it will be as big a hit as Air America itself.

I think the "fundamental tenants" are the ones on the first floor. Am I right?
